Sleeping Dragon by means which have never yet been tried

Hvit moved back as his father stood, watching the movement closely as his final statement had been uttered. The boy’s desire had inspired a whole new reaction, which he’d not known how to react towards. A step was taken, and then there came a question. With it he’d heard a growl, the sound having been enough to push his own ears to lay flat. He knew the anger was not being directed towards him, but it’d still take him by surprise at first. As soon as he’d settled down, however, his ears had perked back up and he’d said, “Goliath,” believing that he would not be understood if all he’d said was the giant.

Given Gavriel’s reaction, the viking was sure that he’d have help with getting rid of the enemy. He had told Freyja that he’d take care of it, and he planned to keep his promise.
